[@amyb3737]

Haven't even watched it yet and I'm excited! One of my favourite notes 💜

[@MariaMeliora]

hoho, tell me, tell me what your personal faves?

[@amyb3737]

@@MariaMeliora Acqua di Parma Colonia, Elizabeth and James Nirvana French Grey, SJP Lovely, Penhaligon's English Fern and Mon Guerlain, of course. Love to try the Gris Claire! May put it in my Fragrancebuy cart 😁

[@valerier6824]

Thank you for this, Maria! I'm so glad there are other lavender perfumes out there besides Mon Guerlain.

[@MariaMeliora]

You are so welcome, thank you for your support, Valerie!

[@OphelieFontaine]

Oh, I adore Scotland and Edinburgh soooo much, too 🥺💝💖💕

[@MariaMeliora]

oh me too!

[@annettetesta8816]

Your descriptions are lovely - especially the Lalique and Penhaligan's. Thank you!

[@aidtea4415]

Lavendula by Penhaligon’s is one of my all time fav too 💜

[@justaddlight]

I always loved that touch of basil in Lavandula. Makes it a bit more interesting than the lavender in my Pour un Homme de Caron, but both are exceptional scents to layer with. Thanks for sharing Maria!

[@MariaMeliora]

Thank you for sharing your faves! i haven't even noticed basil in Lavandula yet, socurious to smell it again and see if I can spot it!

[@MariaMeliora]

Caron house has so far been a puzzling experience for me. Any other faves from them?

[@justaddlight]

@@MariaMeliora I know what you mean. Rather vintage smelling to most. I do have Le 3 homme and it's a fantastic clove scent, but again, it takes some getting used to. Pour un Homme Sport gets far more play on YT.

[@hermitaage]

I didn’t know you had a channel in English now. I subscribe to your russian channel. I am glad I found you thru another you tuber. Love your videos

[@babbes4210]

I have a partial bottle of the discontinued : Aqua allegoria lavandula velour. It is fresh and very natural only blended just enough with other notes to be less harsh and give a smooth (velour) impression It is my favorite lavender scent for a reason.

[@MariaMeliora]

Wow what a rare gem you have!

[@OphelieFontaine]

GRIS CLAIR, LIVING, 1725 & BRILLANTLY BRITISH (Penhaligons) are my beloved lavenders 💜

[@MariaMeliora]

awww look at us - same lavender faves!

[@harveytrevino2257]

I 100% agree with you. I try not to keep too many note duplicate fragrances in my collection. I have just started myself on a Lavender journey, my first will be Molinard Lavande. I'm looking forward to it, and depending on how that goes, Serge Lutens Gris Clair will probably be my following buy.

[@harveytrevino2257]

By the way, I think the reason Lalique Living gives off a male vibe is probably the pepper, vetiver and vanilla? But just my thoughts out loud.

[@MariaMeliora]

@@harveytrevino2257 to be honest I do not understand what is meant by "man" vibe. All men smell different between each other, and so do women. Some men like cucumbers, some tomatoes , so do women. That doesn't make either cucumbers it tomatoes musculine or feminine to me 😊

[@harveytrevino2257]

@@MariaMeliora I understand where you're coming from. I wear all sorts of fragrances. My wife is slightly more reserved. As she will not wear anything "too heavy".. Which for her means Tobacco or Booze type of scents.. She has stuff like Tiffany Intense, Narsico Rodriguez L'Absolute for her, Gucci Bloom Profumo Di Fiori. Which all smell great, and works perfectly on her skin. I have a Gucci Oud that was targeted towards women, and I do sense this certain fruitiness from the Pear and Raspberry that comes across as what I consider feminine. But my wife loves it on me, so as you said, what is masculine or feminine?

[@rabebdaoud4752]

Thanks you for the vidéo 🥰 is the Brit rythm that you have an eau de toilette or an eau de parfum please?

[@amyb3737]

LOVING the drama of your look here! 🔥

thank you, Amy! I'm glad you noticed the effort ;)))

I'm really grateful for this video cause I am a great fan of lavander of any kind!!!

[@MariaMeliora]

So happy to hear that ❤️💋

[@lanabond4091]

Hi Maria! Thank you for the video! Recently I realized that I loooove lavender in perfumes. ! Few months ago I purchase Atkinsons Lavender on the rocks. Your description of Penhaligon’s really makes me think about Lavender on the rocks. Now I want to try Lavandula!

[@MariaMeliora]

ooo how about a decant swap? i really want to try the atkinsons version!

[@allanbrenes-valverde1251]

Maria, thanks once again for your delivering, very entertaining as usual! You answered one of my questions in your previous videos: >= 200 bottles in your collection :) That is something! With regards using fragrances at first day of work, or even more, at an interview session. I feel I am not that into it, meaning, maybe I am narrowed mind in that sense but I have always think that an interview session should be formal and without outliers, HOWEVER, if there is an almost imperceptible note in the juice, like silk to your nose, I think I would be able to tolerate it. Lavandula, yes, it has a very particular name and like the audience explained wisely down below, the way you describe it, feels like one wants to go immediately to look for it!

[@MariaMeliora]

i think there are a lot of social codes, ever so subtle or not so, ever so constant yet changing that guide our behavior in high stakes social situations. an interview is the place to put one's best foot forward, and in some cultures (and some careers) well chosen perfumes is a big sign of status, professionalism or lack thereof, just like presence or absense of makeup, hair styling, clothing choices. I struggle to imagine a candidate being dismissed because they had an elegant cologne on (excluding over spraying cases):)

[@aquababy5]

I really love Gris Clair... I only have a decant but I want the full bottle (old formula, not new formula). Also even though it doesn’t last too well I love the newer Jo Malone lavender & coriander.

[@MariaMeliora]

did they change the formula significantly? when?

[@watermelongirl]

You need to post an updated lavender perfume video because most of these perfumes are already discontinued 😢

[@MariaMeliora]

Hehe still love them and use them all the time 😄 you can find most on secondary markets

[@redamehdihassan1113]

A beautiful and amazing show. My thanks, appreciation and respect.

[@EmysWorldofFragrance]

I am typically not a huge fan of lavender, but my absolute favorite is Maison Lancome Lavandes Trianon. Have you tried it? Love both of your channels 🥰❤️

[@shopqueen]

EmysWorldofFragrance haha. I’m not the only one who’s not a fan but loves the lancome ....

[@MariaMeliora]

oh i really wanted lavandes trianon, but couldn't find it on a good deal. at some point i think lancome website had a sweet set of travel sizes AND a sale going on. I stared at it for days, untill it sold out :)))

[@shopqueen]

Maria Meliora it’s been discontinued and now people are charging ridiculous amounts. In my opinion I love the entire “original” revamped Maison Lancome Collection (2016) but IMO Lancome is doing a horrible job with marketing, availability and production. The only newer one I love is the Santal Kardamon. The orange bigardes is nice. The iris and patchouli are ok but not amazing. I was hoping the iris dragged would be sweeter with a stronger almond note and an overall better iris. People love it but I felt let down given the theme of the original 8

[@shopqueen]

Maria Meliora also when Lancome was doing the travel sets they often would have 2 jasmine out of the 4 perfumes on the set. Not all of the original 8 made it to travel size. They should have done a full line coffret for the holidays. That would have been amazing. I’ve posted this on their social media.

[@benedictocarpio9861]

Hi, how's the performance on the Penhaligon's Lavandula?

[@AniezkaJi]

Maria, I really hope you will try Velvet Lavender by Eric Buterbough from Scentbird one day! It's so lovely!

[@MariaMeliora]

i wanted to check it out, but it was since removed from their stock :(

[@zara_dogwriter2882]

I'm happy l saw the review abaut aramath lavender 🌹💜❤️

[@MariaMeliora]

So happy you liked it!

[@mashynia8]

Have you tried Music For a While by Frederic Malle?

[@MariaMeliora]

Once maybe, what about it?

[@mashynia8]

Maria Meliora It’s Lavender, that’s why I’ve asked. What have you thought about it?

[@shopqueen]

I personally hate lavender but love Maison Lancôme’s Lavandes Trianon. I’d say this is a gourmand lavender which is very popular...I also like TF lavender extreme. But again I generally hate lavender.

[@MariaMeliora]

There is something wrong with this picture I feel 🤣 to hate lavender but to love two super duper lavender centric perfumes 😉 both are good examples for sure

[@mounthive]

Histoires de Parfums 1725 Casanova has a nice leading lavender! Your description of Lavandula makes me want to blind buy it :O

[@MariaMeliora]

aha, i need to check it out then (1725)!

[@tashalawson2028]

I appreciate the "Engligh-ized" pronunciation of these French fragrance names. Never understood the annoyance with imperfect French pronunciation. Why should anyone be expected to enunciate words within a language they've never spoken? Seems strange and a bit unreasonable to me.

[@MariaMeliora]

Agree. I don't mind when people can deliver a perfect native accent, even though sometimes it leaves me even more confused, if I can't mimic it easily ;)) But when people get preachy about international words that I pronounce according to the english rules, like "niche", "incognito", and others - that's plain bizarre.
